-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I wonder if it would be a good idea to have an option to combine symmetric ciphers, e.g. users could state a preference list like this:
TWOFISH+AES256 3DES+BLOWFISH+AES AES 3DES The meaning of A+B would be to encrypt using A first, and then encrypt the result using B with a different key. Assuming it takes effort a to break cipher A and effort b to break cipher b, this should result in effort at least max(a, b) needed to break A+B. And with uncertainity about possible weaknesses in individual ciphers, this seems like a reasonable measure to me.
